Research Program Overview

Driven by a commitment to excellence in teaching and fueled by my passion for education, my research program aims to enhance undergraduate students’ learning experiences and prepare them for future careers. Below are a few of our research focuses:

Course-Based Undergraduate Research (CURE): As part of the MCC Fellow Cohort 2024, I am developing a CURE lab course centered on malate dehydrogenase research. This research experience aims to promote students’ laboratory skills, knowledge comprehension, and most importantly, passion for biochemical research. We are also developing a comprehensive undergraduate research program focusing on skills and training in genotranscriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics.

Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) Studies: Our SoTL studies aim to improve student engagement and learning outcomes by designing case studies, introducing real-world applications, developing personalized learning, and exploring tools for informal and inquiry-based learning.

Integrative Teaching and Learning: With the rapid advancement of technology, such as AI and deep learning, higher education must be redesigned to prepare students for fast-evolving career needs. I collaborate with faculty from other fields (e.g., computer science, horticulture, ecology, education, etc.) in research and course design to equip students with the skills needed for their future careers.
